LANCASTER, PA — Trevor Bauer is scheduled to make his second Atlantic League start for the Long Island Ducks on Sunday at Penn Medicine Park, with first pitch set for 1:30 p.m., the team announced.
Bauer, the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner, is pitching in the Atlantic League as part of an effort to return to Major League Baseball after last appearing in an MLB game on June 28, 2021.
The right-hander compiled 83 wins over a 10-year major league career with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
He was named an All-Star in 2018 with Cleveland, going 12-6 with a 2.21 ERA, and later won the Cy Young Award in 2020 with Cincinnati, posting a 1.73 ERA with 100 strikeouts in 73 innings during the pandemic-shortened season.
Bauer’s 2020 performance included allowing 41 hits over 11 starts, leading the National League in ERA and WHIP.
He has spent the past three years pitching internationally, including stints with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan and the Diablos Rojos del México in the Mexican League.
Sunday’s game marks Bauer’s second appearance in the Atlantic League, an independent professional league that has served as a platform for players seeking to return to affiliated baseball.
The Long Island Ducks are scheduled to face the Lancaster Stormers at Penn Medicine Park.
